Migrating a large application to a new internationalization library can be daunting. To ease this transition, Intlayer provides compat adapters for the most popular i18n libraries in the ecosystem.

These adapter packages expose the exact same public API as your existing i18n libraries, but delegate all translation work to Intlayer at runtime.

How it works

When you use a compat adapter, you do not need to rewrite your application's imports or change how you use your translation hooks and components. Instead, Intlayer's bundler plugins automatically alias your existing imports to the Intlayer compat packages.

For example, a developer replaces import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next' with import { useTranslation } from '@intlayer/react-i18next' (done automatically via the bundler plugin), and the app keeps working with translations now served from Intlayer dictionaries. Keys are also typed against your Intlayer dictionaries!
